美語情景對話 第594期:Ultimate Frisbee 極限飛盤(2)
Todd: Now have you actually ever played in an organized league, like an Ultimate Frisbee league?
託德：你參加過極限飛盤聯賽嗎？Wendi: Yeah, I organize leagues.
溫迪：參加過，我組織了聯賽。Todd: Oh, you do?
託德：真的嗎？
Wendi: Yeah, I organize leagues and I represent Canada at World's and played against the Japanese teams and stuff like that, so.
溫迪：對，我組織聯賽，而且我代表加拿大在世界比賽上同日本隊比賽。Todd: Wow! You've played internationally?
託德：哇！你參加過國際比賽？Wendi: Yeah. Yeah.
溫迪：對，是的。Todd: That's impressive. Didn't know that about you?
託德：真了不起。我以前不知道這件事。Wendi: Yeah, one time only.
溫迪：嗯，我只參加過一次。Todd: You're a world class athlete.
託德：你是名世界級的運動員。Wendi: One time only.
溫迪：我只參加過一次國際比賽。Todd: Still.
託德：那也是世界級的。Wendi: Yeah. No, but it was really, actually, it was a meltdown tournament of us, so it was the Ultimates in Hawaii actually, maybe four years ago, and it was a really bad kind of tournament for my team, and the team I played on was Vancouver Prime, a women's team out of Vancouver which is kind of known as the strongest, well was known as the strongest women's team in Canada and kind of top four in North America. And the team's done now. They've kind of grown into a new team in the city but Canada Ultimate is very strong, Canada and America Ultimate players, kind of more, kind of the Northwest region, very strong players, and yeah, it was really fun.
溫迪：嗯，不過我們隊在這次錦標賽上的表現非常糟糕，我記得那是四年前在夏威夷舉行的錦標賽，我們隊的表現非常不好，我所在的隊伍是Vancouver Prime，是溫哥華女子隊，被認爲是加拿大最強的女子隊，同時在北美地區也位列前四。這支隊伍現在已經解散了。我想溫哥華組成了一支新的隊伍，加拿大飛盤選手的能力非常強，加拿大和美國飛盤選手的能力是西北部地區最強的，不過比賽還是有很多樂趣。Todd: Well, I'd like to play sometime.
託德：我也想找個時間體驗一下。Wendi: Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
溫迪：好啊，很有趣的。Todd: So where's your Frisbee?
託德：你的飛盤在哪裏？Wendi: Right there. (Pointing to the wall). That's actually, the one on top is a Frisbee golf Frisbee, which is different from an Ultimate Frisbee. The bigger one is the one that you use when you play Ulitmate Frisbee. It's 175 grams and the Frisbee golf disk is similar to playing ball golf. You've got drivers and putters and everything else and those golf disks are smaller and the rims are different so they have different weights. They fly differently; you release them differently. They take different angles, all kinds of stuff, so it's really technical and incredibly dorky. It's great.
溫迪：在那裏。（指向牆的方向）。實際上，上面那個是高爾夫飛盤，與極限飛盤有區別。稍大一些的是極限飛盤中用到的飛盤，大約有175克，而高爾夫飛盤與高爾夫球運動類似。需要球棒、球杆和其他輔助設備，高爾夫飛盤要小一些，用的輪圈也不同，所以重量也不同。兩種飛盤的飛行方式也不同，投擲飛盤的方法不同。兩種飛盤需要的角度不同，有很多方面都不一樣，所以這是一項技巧運動，雖然不是很流行，不過是一項很棒的運動。Todd: All right, thanks a lot.
託德：好，非常謝謝你。Wendi: Yeah, you're welcome.
溫迪：不客氣。
